  • Publication number: 20250110911
    Abstract: An I/O device is configured to couple a plurality of process control field devices to a process controller controlling a process in an industrial process plant. The I/O device includes a backplane and a plurality of electronic marshalling component (EMC) slots. The EMC slots are each configured to receive a respective EMC and to receive either of (i) a first-type EMC associated with a first communication protocol or (ii) second-type EMC associated with a second communication protocol. The I/O device also includes I/O processor module slots, each communicatively coupled, via the backplane, to each of the EMC slots and to each of a first one or more connectors and a second one or more connectors in each of the EMC slots. The I/O device further includes communication ports, each communicatively coupled to the I/O processor module slots via the backplane.

  • Patent number: 11882243
    Abstract: Incoming calls are received from audio capable devices. A call processing server receives an incoming call from an audio-capable device to a destination number, and detects availability for an ancillary source device linked to the audio-capable device. A set of data is provided to the ancillary source device. The set of data specifies graphical menu options for functions supported by the call processing server. The ancillary source device provides an indication of a selection of one of the graphical menu options. In response to the indication, a call transfer for the incoming call is implemented.
